The tallest waterfall in Turkey,


Tortum Waterfall is one of the most remarkable natural treasures of Turkey next to Tortum Lake located in Tortum district, 100 km (62 mi) north of Erzurum in Eastern Anatolia Region.The lake, 8 km (5.0 mi) long and 1 km (0.62 mi) wide, was formed as the result of a great landslide, which blocked the valley though which the Tortum River flowed. At the same time, the water sought a new outlet over a fault with a drop of 48 m (157 ft). The hollow left in the Kemerlidağ slope on the left of the valley by the fall of rock is still clearly visible.
